Orvis Clearwater® Reels

Still the best performance-to-value reel series in the industry, Clearwater Large-Arbor Reels have a new addition to the family—the Clearwater II, III, and IV. The die-cast design is protected by a durable powder-coat finish built to withstand hard use. An improved Carbon®-to-stainless, sealed disc drag holds its own with high-performance machined reels. The new Clearwater fly reel converts easily to either left- or right-hand retrieve. Positive click drag knob delivers consistent settings. Updated radiused reel foot keeps your leader from kinking when wrapped around it.
